Kegan Smurf Gill, Ep286
from The Distinguished Savage Podcast · host Walt Settlemyre
Kegan Smurf Gill is a Naval Aviator, F18 Super Hornet Pilot, Author, Speaker, and one of the most solid humans you'll ever meet! I am proud to call him friend! Kegan's story is the epitome of The Heroes Journey. From the fastest ejection in Naval history from his F18 at 695 mph just before it crashed in to the Atlantic Ocean to surviving nearly 2 hours in frigid waters, to the ensuing journey just to be able to walk and fly again, to his misdiagnosis of PTSD by the VA when in reality he had a TBI that sent him deeper and deepr in to psychosis. Kegan was able to fight through this and regain his health and well being. He has written a book on his journey to not only tell the his story, but help others who face the vast issues with VA and who are struggling as he was! His story, his openness, and his resilience are the stuff of legends in my opinion and Kegan is above all, inspiring! You can find Kegan's new book, Phoenix Revival, The Aftermath of Naval Aviations's Fastest Ejection on Amazon.
